Empty little town

Bell
What a mysterious word
But here in Down Under the locals know best
Bell is not just a word but a home, never more and never less
No noise no traffic just the sound of the dusty wind
All the towns folk inside to get away from this blistering summer heat
But not this year
Oh no no this year
All the towns folk come around to celebrate our 100th year!
